Your private island home.
Bila Kofia is more than a villa—it is the result of a shared dream between our Swedish and Tanzanian family. Created as a place where people can slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of Zanzibar in comfort and privacy, Bila Kofia offers a home-awayfrom-home in one of the world's most beautiful destinations.
Designed for families and groups of friends, the villa accommodates up to 12 guests and features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a private swimming pool, and a rooftop terrace with stunning sunset views. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply spending quality time together, the villa offers the space and privacy to do so at your own pace.
We want every stay to feel effortless. An Englishspeaking villa manager is available on-site 24/7 to assist with anything you may need, from airport transfers to excursion bookings and local recommendations. A private chef can also be arranged to prepare fresh breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy your holiday.
Located just a 15–20 minute walk from the beach, Bila Kofia offers the perfect balance between exploration and tranquility. Enjoy easy access to Zanzibar's coastline while returning each day to your own peaceful oasis away from the crowds.
Giving back
Rooted in community
We believe travel can be meaningful and that tourism should create a positive impact for both visitors and local communities.
For many years, our family has supported projects for children and young people in Tanzania through our foundation, Tumainis Vänner. From supporting education to providing daily school lunches at a rural Maasai school, our work has always been centred around creating opportunities for future generations.
This commitment is a natural extension of Bila Kofia. A portion of every stay goes directly towards supporting these ongoing projects, allowing our guests to become part of something bigger during their time on the island.
